What a prime time to be in greater Schroon. With the High Peaks for early fall hiking in our backyard and the annual Essex County Adirondack Harvest Festival in nearby Westport -- as well as a ton of activities right here -- we are truly blessed!

The Harvest Fest is your chance to celebrate North Country food and farms, by meeting local farmers, tasting local food as well as listening to some awesome live music.

This family orientated event is FREE and runs September 16 and 15th at the Essex County Fairgrounds

The festival also celebrates the expansion of hiking opportunities in New York. The "Harvest Moon Hike" on Friday evening and the 13-mile "Ferry to Fairgrounds Hike" from Essex to Westport on Saturday are two unique experiences to take part in.
